"Apple Watch requires the presence of an iPhone to run third-party apps. Creation of a third-party app requires two separate bundles: a WatchKit app that runs on Apple Watch and a WatchKit extension that runs on the user’s iPhone. The WatchKit app contains only the storyboards and resource files associated with your app’s user interface. The WatchKit extension contains the code for managing the WatchKit app’s user interface and for responding to user interactions."
On the other hand, the 5000 is a bit inflated. It is more like 1000 apps and 4000 watch faces.
And of course, the race is still very much on. I would think sales numbers will be more important than app counts because they will drive app counts up. In that sense, the "over 400.000 sold" (http://fortune.com/2014/03/20/pebble-sold-400000-smartwatche...) from last march is better news for Pebble than that 1000 apps.
